Arsenal summer recruit\u00a0David Luiz has vowed to uphold his risk-taking approach to defending, despite being at fault for two goals against Liverpool on Saturday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Brazilian centre-back had a match to forget as the Reds inflicted a fourth straight Anfield defeat on Arsenal with a comfortable 3-1 win.<\/p>\n

Luiz’s approach: Five things to know…<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Luiz has forged a reputation for an adventurous approach to defending.<\/li>\n
  • Despite being a world class reader of the game, he has been susceptible to reckless challenges as well as lapses in concentration.<\/li>\n
  • Luiz can therefore be considered a more unorthodox centre-back, known for his distribution and set-piece credentials.<\/li>\n
  • Since the start of 2016\/17 Luiz has made\u00a0691 passes into the final third – the fourth most of any Premier League centre-back.<\/li>\n
  • The Brazilian has now vowed to maintain his approach to defending despite being guilty of two aberrations over the weekend.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Luiz was no stranger to a moment of madness during his Chelsea days, and that\u00a0audacious mentality manifested over the weekend as a clumsy shirt pull on\u00a0Mohamed Salah gifted the Merseysiders a penalty, before he was dismissively rounded by the Egyptian ace for the hosts’ third goal.<\/p>\n

    Naturally, Luiz has come in for some criticism after the game, but\u00a0the seasoned defender has waved away suggestions he will adapt his approach to appease\u00a0purists, instead letting Gooners know that he will bring his Stamford Bridge form to north London.<\/p>\n

    He said<\/a>: “I think now in the modern football everybody defends when they don’t have the ball and everybody attacks when they do have the ball.<\/p>\n
